what is clean • tech ?

Clean Technology is the new term used to describe the technology used to create products and services that reduce our negative impact on our environment.  

U.S. and global efforts to address climate changes, energy efficiencies and natural resource management are important news and political topics. Attention to alternative energies has combined with worldwide agendas to create an exciting growth area that is increasingly attracting both the manufacturing and investment industries.

Some Clean Tech industries, such as wind, hydro and solar powers, are well known and established. Research spending, environmental legislation and investor interest have helped create hundreds of companies and thousands of jobs in these areas. New sectors are now emerging that offer additional opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors, including biofuels, fuel cells and nanotechnology.
